Can anyone explain why my boyfriend has to tell me when he see's an attractive girl? When we are out together he will say things like "She is an attractive girl", or sometimes he just continues to stare at a girl we are passing by. Please can anyone explain why he behaves this way? thankyou

angelDlite agony aunthe is either doing it to purposely wind you up and make you jealous or he just has no tact, and if he is your age and still behaving like this then i don't really think there is much hope of him changing.

do you think he maybe is doing it coz he feels insecure, he may feel you don't give him enough attention and so he wants to 'keep you on your toes'

just tell him it irritates you, he might stop doing it then

RedAthena agony auntSo Very Confused already beat me to my favorite bit of advice..my version is "Feel free to look at the menu, but dine at home!"

I would not get too annoyed with your guy appreciating beauty in someone else as long as he is appreciating it in you first:) If he is oogling, staring, making obscene gestures or comments-that would be disturbing!

Admiring someone else is not a rejection of you:)

I'm a 21-year-old, have sometimes told my boyfriend how attractive other boys are; if anything, it shows how much of a "Manly man" he is, gives him an incentive to look more attractive, so it's backfired a fair bit!

How rude! Does he really think you need to know that he finds other girls attractive? I would not tolerate that.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI've had to tell my boyfriend that I don't mind him pointing out pretty girls but I do mind it on DATE NIGHT... we had to compromise. He likes to look.. and I've told him "I don't mind where you get your appetite as long as you only eat at home".... so he looks and then loves on ME....

harleygirl2010 agony auntMy man does the same thing, well he doesn't stare but he will point out a woman and say she is sexy or attractive. He told me several times he does it so that i know what he thinks and that i know he isn't plotting in his head how to get her into his bed. He said he would rather say it out loud and get it out of his system than plot and ruin a relationship because he plotted something like that. IDK if it the same for your man but that is how mine explained it.

candy89 agony auntWhen you hang out next time, tell your boyriend how attractive other boys are to see how he will react/feel. It's normal to look at pretty girls but there's no need to stare!
